A factory paks 144 ball pens in a carton. It has 3950cartons. If the factory need to pack 875952ball pens, does it need some more pen in a carton. If yes how many more cartoons are needed.

Answer 1

Answer:

2133 extra cartoons needed.

Step-by-step explanation:

If I carton can have 144 pens then 3950 cartons can have

3950 x 144= 568800 pens which are less than 875952 pens.

So now, we have to subtract 568800 from 875952

So, 875952 - 568800=307152

so 1 carton= 144

then,? =307152

so cross multiplying it 307152 x 1 ÷144= 2133

so finally, 2133 extra cartons are needed.
